"A very pleasant surprise. A small restaurant on the beach in an undeveloped area. The seafood was fresh and very well prepared. The atmosphere is equally excellent. A very nice surprise to find."

"We went here because it seemed popular with the locals, lots of cars parked outside. The food was amazing, the best seafood I’ve had in Thailand. The Squid in Curry and the scallops were the very best I’ve had. Fresh squid with a bit of spice and coconut milk….yum. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice and cabbage in fish sauce. All the food we ordered were amazing. The restaurant is located on the beach and is very clean. It is really well decorated to look like an seafood restaurant, with shells and different memorabilia. The staff are very nice and very accommodating. The food arrived quick, considering it was fairly busy."
